Vintage 1990s Liz Wear Cotton Plaid Gathered-Back Shirt — Size S

Classic plaid, with a plot twist.

This vintage Lizwear by Liz Claiborne shirt is cut from 100% cotton in a rich jewel-toned plaid of navy, green, burgundy, blue and golden yellow. From the front, it reads like an easy button-up with a stand collar, long sleeves and curved shirttail hem. The back is where things get interesting: a wide yoke releases into generous gathering, creating unexpected volume and movement through the body.

It’s relaxed without being sloppy and interesting without trying too hard—the kind of vintage piece that makes jeans and trousers look immediately more considered.

Curator’s Note

Business in the front. Volume in the back. What looks like a great plaid shirt at first glance turns into something much more interesting from behind. We’d give it the grown-woman treatment: chocolate trousers, loafers, gold jewelry—and absolutely no lumberjack cosplay. 😂
